There have been major developments since our last posting. Hailey started school two weeks ago and loves it! From the very first day she took over the joint and is now queen of the classroom. Her teacher loves her and there has not been a single tear shed over being left there. Apparently she really was ready. She asks everyday if she is going, and Jona says when he drops her off in the morning he can barely even get a kiss good-bye! Such a big girl. She is only there part time, but of course by the third day she already had a snotty nose...taking her antibodies!!
Halloween was great! Hailey was a kitty cat and thought she was pretty hot stuff when we trick or treated in our neighborhood. Of course, the best part was not the candy, it was the fact that almost every house had a puppy or kitty in the doorway, one even had a Great Dane- it was tough to pull her away.
I started work and can't decide if I'm going to like it or not. The hospital is very small and has a totally different feel from my last job, which is both a good and bad thing. I am in the newborn nursery, so I don't really get to work with moms as much anymore and I do miss the education part of things. We don't have neonatologists in house, unlike in Miami, so we the nurses are pretty much the be all and end all for the newborns. That both excites and terrifies me with every delivery I attend. I guess only time will tell which emotion wins out.
Jona leaves for Mexico in 4 days. He will be gone for a month to a town with no phones, no cell service, and no internet. Its going to be quite an adjustment for all of us and he is already dreading how much Hailey will grow up in that short amount of time. He is trying to convince me not to teach her anything new while he is away...don't think that's going to work out for us :)
Fall seems to have finally arrived. Our days are lovely and the leaves are starting to change. Hailey and I went on a walk this morning in Radnor Park and although this time we only saw one deer (the first time we saw 13!), it was still fun to have to wear our coats and have chilly fingers. Gammy and Bampa arrive next week and we're supposed to have our chilliest weather yet...I'm sure Dad will love that!
So, that's the skinny from Nashville. Hugs to everybody!!

OOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHH I'm so excited to see you all, the leaves and Nashville. Experiencing cold weather sounds great to me but Dad just shudders...he'll get used to it!Hailey was an adorable kitty and I also love her singing voice! Here we come ready or not!!!
So happy to see things are going great for you guys in Nashville, looks like the whole family loves it. Lots of fun weekend things to do and a great fall, what more can you ask for. I'll hope Jona's month away goes by quickly. Miss you all.
I'm so jealous of the weather change you guys are experiencing. It's getting somewhat cooler here by like 3 degrees. It doesn't surprise me that Hailey would do so well at school. She is a social butterfly. I also know how it feels when Dad goes away for business. Sam leaves 3 times a year but for only 10 days a time. I hope that the month he's gone flies by for you guys. XOXO
